ALTON ORGAN SOCIETY (Founded 1967) ♬♪𝄞 Updated Thursday 9 September 2021
On Tuesday 7 September 2021 we witnessed a truly professional and absorbing organ concert given by Andrew Millington (Formerly Organist and Dir of Music Exeter Cathedral). His programme can be viewed here and, clearly, it was utterly enjoyed by all present. Despite retiring from Exeter Cathedral in 2015, it was most evident that Andrew has not lost his touch and gave a wonderful display of technical ability, artistic interpretation and sheer joy at his love of organ music. It completed the 2020/2021 Season of Organ Concerts which was disrupted by the pandemic. Nonetheless, we did manage to retain 6 of the 8 concerts albeit re-scheduled bringing the season to a very successful close.
We look forward to the next (and final) lunchtime organ concert which will be given by Rob Goldfinch on Thursday 16 September at 1.10 pm. Refreshments will available from 1230 and attendees are asked to be seated by 1.00 pm. His programme can be viewed and downloaded here.
The first concert in the 2021/2022 (55th) Season of Organ Concerts will be given by Peter King (Formerly Organist & Director of Music, Bath Abbey) on Tuesday 5 October starting at 8.00 pm. His programme can be viewed here.
